A Knoxville man has been charged with first-degree murder in a fatal stabbing witnessed by the victim's 5-year-old daughter during a Lonsdale area home invasion, according to an arrest warrant.

Kevin Lewis Scarbro, 20, was captured by responding officers as he attempted to flee from the attack, reported at 11:50 p.m. Tuesday at 1324 Delaware Avenue, according to a Knoxville Police Department news release.

Scarbro is accused of breaking into the 47-year-old victim's home and threatening the man at knifepoint in a demand for drugs.

When the victim claimed he did not have any drugs, Scarbo allegedly stabbed him repeatedly.
